I should add this only happens in the front-end.
Also in addition, it seems to be adding an extra space too:

Mind you this is the Salutation theme, I am sure you would know which theme.

I found this on functions.php:


define('AVATAR_SIZE', 35);
avatar size


There is a bp-custom.php, with the following code in it:

if ( !defined( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH' ) )

define( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 35 ); //change this with your desired thumb width

if ( !defined( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT' ) )

define( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 35 ); //change this with your desired thumb height

What should I do now?

Thanks,

Indeed switching to the BP default template does not show the issue. I would think that since salutation is one popular theme for buddypress you would want BP 1.6 to work smoothly. Any ideas how I can adjust the theme to the new BP? It was issue free with the previous version of BP 1.5. Do you think I should go after the theme makers?

Thanks for looking over this this far.

Posted the same problem in the salutation help thread:

http://para.llel.us/support/groups/salutation-wordpress/forum/topic/weird-characters-showing-instead-of-avatar-after-upgrading-to-buddypress-1-6/

If I know something, I will update here too.

I went there and the file I found has the lines applied already.

I have an update from Parallelus (author of Salutation theme), they are telling me this has to do with the fact I need up update the theme to the newest version. I am using version Version 1.4.3.1 and they released version v1.5.1. On the change log, they list:

Update, the problem does solve when you update the template to the latest version. For me, it was version 1.5.1
